The Monkees’ Christmas Show
On this episode of The Holiday Specials We Love, we dive into The
Monkees’ Christmas Show — an episode that sparks debate right away and
lands somewhere between two and a half candy canes and a half a ribbon candy-a new Holiday Specials We Love Low!
We talk the odd babysitting story, the ultra-serious rich kid who has
everything except love, and the way the show bounces between kid-show chaos and 60s hippie weirdness. We talk the long stretches, the mistakes and the moments where the message finally starts to click.
We go a little inside baseball on— the a cappella performance of “Ríu
Ríu Chíu.” how bold the choice was, how difficult it is to pull off , and
why it’s especially impressive coming from a group that was cast as actors
first, not an a cappella quartet.
We talk the fourth-wall-breaking finale, when the Monkees bring the cast
and crew on screen, thank them by name, and do something television simply didn’t do at the time.
Our new mission- to get the Monkees in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — they beat the best, outselling the Beatles and the Stones at their peak, actually sang their own songs, they’re due!
The march to Christmas is in full swing!
